In 1977 the artist moved to Canada. In 1980 he attended the École Nouvelle de Chailly in Lausanne, Switzerland and later the Saint Stephen's School in Rome where he obtained the International Baccalaureate. In 1988, he took a course in traditional Japanese painting in New York. In the same years he took part in many group and solo exhibitions. Implosion is a cast steel sculpture made with the lost wax technique and alludes in its almost unrecognisable face represented the possible implosion of forms. The sculpture's aesthetic and tactile result reflects the artist's research, which proceeds through contaminations of techniques and materials, proposing a reflection on the history of art understood as a process of achieving an aesthetic and emotional result. Says Rizzoli -My proceeding is more out of amazement than design, but it is also a need for a dialogue with history, the spirit of the times and the possible ways of art-.
